Children across the parish are making their holiday wish lists and checking them twice as cooler weather brings visions of sugarplums to dance in their heads.

However, the reality is that not all Lincoln Parish children will have a large collection of presents and a holiday feast awaiting them on Christmas morning. Many families cannot afford such gifts for the holidays.

But, the Junior Auxiliary of Ruston seeks to make sure that as many parish children as possible have a happy holiday with their annual Christmas Clearinghouse event.

After their stent in the flower business, Lisa Skains, and her sister and brother-in-law, Laura and Kirby Rainer, decided it was time for a change of pace.

So, at 9:30 a.m. this morning, they opened the doors to Cotton Landing Vintage and Antique Market.

“We are actually old floral people that had a flower shop, and decided that we need to go in a different direction,” Skains said. “We are very creative, the two of us, and it is hard for us to say ‘we just like this, or we just like that,’ so we came up with the idea to have a vintage and antique market.”

Lincoln Parish native, the Rev. James O. Evans, will present a copy of his second book, “Finding the Way Forward,” from 2-4 p.m. Saturday at Grace United Methodist Church.

This volume follows up his previous work “Called to Serve,” in which he credits people who helped him overcome the poverty of life in rural Lincoln Parish during the Great Depression in order to achieve a successful ministry and marriage.

This retired pastor continues to serve others. He was recently recognized as the Court Appointed Special Advocate “Volunteer of the Year” for the State of Louisiana.
